ABRIDGED EDITION 



DREER^S GARDEN BOOK for 1920 



It has been our aim in this edition of our annual Garden Book to confine our offerings to what 

 we consider the very choicest and most important Vegetable Seeds and the best, easiest grown and 

 most satisfactory Flower Seeds, to those who may be interested in Plants and Bulbs and in a full list 

 of Vegetable, Farm and Flower Seeds we will be pleased to send on application a copy of our Com- 

 plete Garden Book for 1920. We take this opportunity of thanking our many customers for their gen- 

 erous patronage in the past, and to assure them that we will continue to do all in our power to merit a 

 continuance of their confidence, and that we aim to give every order, no matter how small or how 

 large, prompt and careful attention. 



The attention of our customers is respectfully called to the following directions, 

 which will if followed, be an aid to purchasers as well as ourselves 



ORDER EARLY. — We aim to execute all orders as soon as received, but during the rush season delays 

 are unavoidable, which however, can be partly overcome by our patrons anticipating their wants and 

 ordering and taking delivery of their requirements early. 



FORWARDING. — We deliver, postpaid to any Post Office in the United States, Vegetable and Flower 

 Seeds in packets, ounces, and pounds, except where otherwise noted in the Catalogue. Agricultural 

 Seeds, and other heavy and bulkj^ goods are sent by Express or Freight at purchasers' expense. 



LOCAL DELIVERY. — We deliver goods free in Philadelphia. We aiso deliver free of charge by 

 Package System (Baggage Master]* to all points where this system is in operation such goods as 

 will be received by them, and weighing not in excess of 50 pounds when packed. 



PACKING. — No charge is made for boxes or packing on Express or Freight shipments, nor for delivery 

 to Freight Depots or Express Offices in Philadelphia. 



SAFE ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES.— We guarantee the safe arrival of all goods sent by Express or 

 Mail to points within the United States. If a package sent by Express or Mail is injured or lost we 

 will replace it as soon as informed of the fact. Goods sent in any other way are soleh' at purchas- 

 ers' risk. Frequently it happens that orders never reach us or are without signature. When cus- 

 tomers fail to receive their package in a reasonable time they should inform us and at the same 

 time send a copy of their order and any other information necessary to trace the good.s. Claims for 

 damage must be made on receipt of goods. 



! 



ERRORS. — We exercise the utmost care in filling orders, striving to do a litt'e more than we oflfer; 

 yet in the press of business errors sometimes occur, in which event we wish to be promptly noti- 

 fied of the fact and will make such corrections as will be satisfactory. Please keep copies of all 

 your orders for comparison. 



REMITTANCES should be made by. Post Office Money Order, Drafts on Philadelphia or New York 

 Banks or Express Money Orders. We disclaim all responsibility when remittances are not made 

 as above directed. Where it is not possible to obtain these,- the letter should be registered. Postage 

 stamps will be found a convenient method of remitting for small amounts and can be used by ns 

 to advantage. Coin should not be sent by mail. 



CASH WITH ORDER. — Please send money with order sufficient to cover the whole bill. We decline 

 sending goods "Collect on Delivery," unless remittance be made on account to guarantee acceptance. 



NAME AND ADDRESS.— Please remember to write on each order your Name, Post Office, County and 

 State; also give number of .Street or P. O. Box as distinctly as possible; also the nearest Express 

 Office; or, if on a Stage Route, send us special directions, giving us- the name of the Express Com- 

 pany delivering goods. 



NON-WARRANTY. — Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond 

 our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., 

 which renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to 

 supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfactory results, we still' give 

 no warranty as to description, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we 

 send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named 

 in this catalogue will be executed on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to everyone 

 who gives the matter the slightest thought, that it is to our best interest to send out only such 

 stock as will not only grow but prove true to name and description. 



CORRESPONDENCE. — ^We try to give prompt attention to all proper letters of inquirj% etc. We 

 ask, as a favor, that all questions be stated clearly and briefly, and not on order sheets; also that 

 as few inquiries as possible be sent in during .\pril and May, at which time we are overtaxed with 

 the business which is necessarily crowded into these two months.
